Personally I can't wait for the new season and I'm feeling really confident! Allison should have a much better season this year after his personal problems last year for one. We as near as damn it have a brand new back four with the signing of Konate, Gomez and VVD returning fingers crossed and TTA in absolutely outstanding form at the end of last season bodes really well for us at the back! With the brand new TTA firing on one side of the pitch the space will automatically open up for Robbo to blossom again as well trust me! Henderson will always be a leader of men in the midfield and Curtis Jones needs to be given more game time now to develop the obvious talent he has. The midfield needs an extra body in my opinion, we need some real drive to connect the midfield to the attack a little bit more but again I'm confident that will be addressed. Up front Jota will always get you goals and has already proved to be a great signing. We do need more from Bobby, love him to bits and I really do think with an in form team around him his confidence will soar again. Mane and Salah will never change, they will never pass to each other and will continue to growl at each other but there drive to continually outscore each other should be embraced by the fans as it guarantees us goals year on year. Finally we have our biggest signing of the year back this year and it doesn't cost the club a penny, the fans. it's up to us to help drive the team to glory not just sit back and wait for it to happen and then start cheering. Ready for the new season boys? . let's go!

Great post. Nice to see a really positive message. I agree that we need a replacement for Gini but I do think we will see the best of Thiago at Liverpool this year. Fab, Hendo and Thiago as our starting midfielder three looks pretty good to me.

I think Gomez is a long way from being ready if his knee is swelling up after any physical exertion.

I like Jones for the midfield driver. I reckon if he got an extended run of games it would do him the world of good. He may not have the pace and power of Ox but his creativity and ball skills are better and I really enjoy watching him play. I think we need that if the mid consists of Hendo and Fab, neither of which penetrate forward with the ball much. Jones can really learn off Thiago.
We all know we have work horses in the middle, Milner included, so Thiago and Jones, possibly Elliot in there too, and I'm not worried about the midfield much, injuries aside.

I am worried about Joe too, VVVV but hopefully the medical team are managing his return to fitness. I am excited to see what Elliot can bring to the first team. I am hoping his enthusiasm will be infectious and make everyone step up a gear.

Not very confident about winning it, but we will be in the mix.
Am actually even not worried about signings i think we have a great squad. Contrary to others i think we have depth in the squad too.

My issue is though the month of january. 5 seasons in a row we kind of loose our way in month of january and early feb. There is some kind of january jinx on klopp.
If we don't have that stupid january dip i think we will do great, but think we have afcon this january and we will loose few players to that so that just adds to our january woes.

Chelsea and city won't loose their best players to afcon. We will and that too in that wretched month of january.

I am concerned the big money teams will buy a lead on us. Man U, Chelsea, and Man City. The players Man U are buying or have bought. Kane and Grealish probably to City.
A top forward to Chelsea.
When these players bed in. These teams will be a handful.

It is difficult to know where we are as due injuries and this could easily happen again.
I would be more confident with the addition of a midfielder to replace Wijnaldum.
Plus, a sharp incisive forward.

I think as usual Liverpool are doing things quietly behind the scenes. The selling of a few players could be an indication.

Yuri01, the counter to your argument is that our team don't need that much time to bed in so while their teams are teething, we could already be off to the races and depending on how things play out, the lead could be considerable. These teams have outspent us for the past near 4 years YET we are the team City fear the most and even Pep is not stupid enuff to believe we won't be back for another 38 rounds.

Could these teams buy a lead on us? Sure. Could we get a lead on them in my counter scenario? Of course. We just don't know. One game at a time. That's how we beat these teams to become Champions of Everywhere. That mantra should NOT change. I'm excited.

I think it’s almost impossible for City to spend £40 all in on 2 players. They would have to sell 3 or 4 quality players and if so not sure they would be any stronger.

I think we’re a quality centre midfielder short. Up front Mane and Salah will have benefitted from a decent break, something neither of them had last year. Looks like Klopp is trying to mould Ox into a false nine as alternative to Bobby, which may work, Elliott is going to have a few games too, Jota is another year in and hopefully Minamino will settle. Having van Dijk back is huge, as defences win titles, make no mistake. There’s plenty to be positive about but also there are things needing to be done which if we fail to address will cost us.
